Carbon Removal Innovation Support Program Workshop

The California Energy Commission (CEC) will host a remote-access workshop to discuss implementation of its new Carbon Removal Innovation Program, created under Assembly Bill (AB) 209 (The Energy and Climate Change budget bill, Chapter 251, enacted in September 2022). This new program, hereafter called the Carbon Removal Innovation Support Program or CRISP, will contribute to economy-wide decarbonization by providing opportunities to accelerate direct air capture of atmospheric carbon in California. The staff workshop will discuss proposed program scope and project eligibility, requirements, and considerations. Additionally, stakeholders and members of the public will have the opportunity to provide feedback during the workshop and via written comment.

The workshop will be held remotely. The public can participate in the workshop consistent with the attendance instructions below. The CEC aims to begin promptly at the start time posted, and the end time is an estimate based on the expected agenda. The workshop may end sooner or later than the posted end time.
